=============================
.. zeek:namespace:: DHCP
Analyze DHCP traffic and provide a log that is organized around
the idea of a DHCP "conversation" defined by messages exchanged within
a relatively short period of time using the same transaction ID.
The log will have information from clients and servers to give a more
complete picture of what happened.

looking up the info record for a transaction ID in every event handler
for :zeek:see:`DHCP::aggregate_msgs`.
Types
#####
.. zeek:type:: DHCP::Info
:source-code: base/protocols/dhcp/main.zeek 18 87
:Type: :zeek:type:`record`
.. zeek:field:: ts :zeek:type:`time` :zeek:attr:`&log`
The earliest time at which a DHCP message over the
associated connection is observed.
.. zeek:field:: uids :zeek:type:`set` [:zeek:type:`string`] :zeek:attr:`&log`
A series of unique identifiers of the connections over which
DHCP is occurring. This behavior with multiple connections is
unique to DHCP because of the way it uses broadcast packets
on local networks.
.. zeek:field:: client_addr :zeek:type:`addr` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
IP address of the client. If a transaction
is only a client sending INFORM messages then
there is no lease information exchanged so this
is helpful to know who sent the messages.
Getting an address in this field does require
that the client sources at least one DHCP message
using a non-broadcast address.
.. zeek:field:: server_addr :zeek:type:`addr` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
IP address of the server involved in actually
handing out the lease. There could be other
servers replying with OFFER messages which won't
be represented here. Getting an address in this
field also requires that the server handing out
the lease also sources packets from a non-broadcast
IP address.
.. zeek:field:: client_port :zeek:type:`port` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Client port number seen at time of server handing out IP (expected
as 68/udp).
.. zeek:field:: server_port :zeek:type:`port` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Server port number seen at time of server handing out IP (expected
as 67/udp).
.. zeek:field:: mac :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Client's hardware address.
.. zeek:field:: host_name :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Name given by client in Hostname option 12.
.. zeek:field:: client_fqdn :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
FQDN given by client in Client FQDN option 81.
.. zeek:field:: domain :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Domain given by the server in option 15.
.. zeek:field:: requested_addr :zeek:type:`addr` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
IP address requested by the client.
.. zeek:field:: assigned_addr :zeek:type:`addr` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
IP address assigned by the server.
.. zeek:field:: lease_time :zeek:type:`interval` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
IP address lease interval.
.. zeek:field:: client_message :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Message typically accompanied with a DHCP_DECLINE
so the client can tell the server why it rejected
an address.
.. zeek:field:: server_message :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Message typically accompanied with a DHCP_NAK to let
the client know why it rejected the request.
.. zeek:field:: msg_types :zeek:type:`vector` of :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&default` = ``[]`` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
The DHCP message types seen by this DHCP transaction
.. zeek:field:: duration :zeek:type:`interval` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&default` = ``0 secs`` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
Duration of the DHCP "session" representing the
time from the first message to the last.
.. zeek:field:: client_chaddr :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
The CHADDR field sent by the client.
.. zeek:field:: last_message_ts :zeek:type:`time` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
.. zeek:field:: msg_orig :zeek:type:`vector` of :zeek:type:`addr` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&default` = ``[]`` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
(present if :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/dhcp/msg-orig.zeek` is loaded)
The address that originated each message from the
`msg_types` field.
.. zeek:field:: client_software :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
(present if :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/dhcp/software.zeek` is loaded)
Software reported by the client in the `vendor_class` option.
.. zeek:field:: server_software :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
(present if :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/dhcp/software.zeek` is loaded)
Software reported by the server in the `vendor_class` option.
.. zeek:field:: circuit_id :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
(present if :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/dhcp/sub-opts.zeek` is loaded)
Added by DHCP relay agents which terminate switched or
permanent circuits. It encodes an agent-local identifier
of the circuit from which a DHCP client-to-server packet was
received. Typically it should represent a router or switch
interface number.
.. zeek:field:: agent_remote_id :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
(present if :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/dhcp/sub-opts.zeek` is loaded)
A globally unique identifier added by relay agents to identify
the remote host end of the circuit.
.. zeek:field:: subscriber_id :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&log` :zeek:attr:`&optional`
(present if :doc:`/scripts/policy/protocols/dhcp/sub-opts.zeek` is loaded)
The subscriber ID is a value independent of the physical
network configuration so that a customer's DHCP configuration
can be given to them correctly no matter where they are
physically connected.
The record type which contains the column fields of the DHCP log.
Events
######
.. zeek:id:: DHCP::aggregate_msgs
:source-code: base/protocols/dhcp/main.zeek 104 104
:Type: :zeek:type:`event` (ts: :zeek:type:`time`, id: :zeek:type:`conn_id`, uid: :zeek:type:`string`, is_orig: :zeek:type:`bool`, msg: :zeek:type:`DHCP::Msg`, options: :zeek:type:`DHCP::Options`)
This event is used internally to distribute data around clusters
since DHCP doesn't follow the normal "connection" model used by
most protocols. It can also be handled to extend the DHCP log.
:zeek:see:`DHCP::log_info`.
.. zeek:id:: DHCP::log_dhcp
:source-code: policy/protocols/dhcp/software.zeek 40 65
:Type: :zeek:type:`event` (rec: :zeek:type:`DHCP::Info`)
Event that can be handled to access the DHCP
